Advancing years leave their mark on the body, mind, and emotions. Some of these changes are for the better, while others are less desirable. Sex is no exception. Many of the physical changes that come with age have noticeable effects on the sex organs and the sexual cycle

Greater experience, fewer inhibitions, and a deeper understanding of your needs and those of your partner can more than compensate for the consequences of aging, such as slower arousal, softer erections, reduced vaginal lubrication, and less intense orgasms. And these physical changes can provide an impetus for developing a new and satisfying style of lovemaking — one that's based more on extended foreplay and less on intercourse and orgasm.
